Australia’s opposition defence spokesperson Brendan O'Connor has affirmed Labor’s commitment to the country’s United States alliance and outlined some of Labor’s key national security priorities if elected to government in May.

“The bond between the United States and Australia cannot be overstated. It is a connection formed through our shared beliefs, aspirations and democratic values,” O'Connor said in an address to the United States Studies Centre in Sydney on March 16.
